Nanoscale Phase Separation and Colossal Magnetoresistance : the Physics of Manganites and Related Compounds /
The study of the spontaneous formation of nanostructures in single crystals is rapidly developing into a dominant field of research in the subject area known as strongly correlated electrons. The structures appear to originate in the competition of phases. This book addresses nanoscale phase separat...
